Efficient Model Order Reduction for Fem Analysis of Waveguide Structures and Resonators

Abstract

Abstract-An efficient model order reduction method for threedimensional Finite Element Method (FEM) analysis of waveguide structures is proposed. The method is based on the Efficient Modal Order Reduction (ENOR) algorithm for creating macro-elements in cascaded subdomains. The resulting macro-elements are represented by very compact submatrices, leading to significant reduction of the overall number of unknowns. The efficiency of the model order reduction is enhanced by projecting fields at the boundaries of macroelements onto a subspace spanned by a few low-order waveguide modes. The combination of these two techniques results in considerable saving in overall computational time and memory requirement. An additional advantage of the presented method is that the reducedorder system matrix remains frequency-independent, which allows for very fast frequency sweeping and efficient calculation of resonant frequencies. Several numerical examples for driven and eigenvalue problems demonstrate the performance of the proposed methodology in terms of accuracy, memory usage and simulation time.

Two Approaches for Incoherent Propagation of Light in Rigorous Numerical Simulations

“…ϕ + i and ϕ − i are phase shifts for forward and backward propagating waves at top interface (i1) of incoherent layer. The first two terms in (4) (third line) are related to the propagating waves with no interaction, while the last two terms (fourth and fifth line) are socalled interference terms [3]. The sum of last two terms is always real, applying the Euler's formula the imaginary parts cancel out.…”

“…Numerical simulations of optoelectronic devices using rigorous approaches, like finite element method (FEM), finite difference time domain (FDTD), finite integrating technique (FIT) or rigorous coupled wave analysis (RCWA) [1][2][3][4][5] in two-or three-dimensional space are getting more and more interest with the development of multiphysics software and extensive computer hardware. However, in rigorous optical simulations numerical solving of wave equation in frequency or time domain takes into account only coherent propagation of electromagnetic waves (light).…”

Ray-Optics Analysis of Single Mode Condition for Optical Waveguides With Rectangular Cross-Section

“…Optical waveguides with a wide variety of shapes have been studied during the past decades [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. As one of the most basic structures among them, rectangular waveguides undoubtedly attracted the attention of early researchers.…”
